In the slot is Rasul Douglas, one of the bigger nickel cornerbacks in the league at 6-foot-2, 209 pounds. Safeties Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage are sold veterans.’

Inside the Bills: 10 potential targets for Brandon Beane ahead of the NFL trade deadline
‘Bills General Manager Brandon Beane has the reputation of being a wheeler and dealer, but has actually kept with the status quo most of the time at the trade deadline. In Beane’s first season on the job as GM in 2017, he traded defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to the Jacksonville Jaguars a few days ahead of the deadline, then acquired wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin from the Panthers just hours before the deadline arrived.’
How we see it: News writers give predictions on Bills vs. Packers
‘I could see the Packers’ defense hanging in there for a half or so vs. the Bills’ offense. I don’t expect Aaron Rodgers to give the Bills any short fields. He doesn’t throw interceptions. But I don’t see Green Bay’s horizontal offense doing much vs. the Bills’ defense. The Packers’ plan has to be to run the ball and keep Josh Allen on the sideline. I don’t see it working. The Packers’ punter is No. 16, Pat O’Donnell. Expect to see a lot of him. Bills pull away in the second half. Bills, 31-14.’

Voice of the Fan: Best part of bye week? It’s over, but watching meltdown of Patriots was fun, too
‘Right now, in the AFC title chase, only the Chiefs, and possibly the long-ball-happy Cincinnati Bengals, are genuine threats to the Bills in the long run. It is a long slog, only about one-third of the way through for the 5-1 Bills, but Buffalo is in much better position right now than anyone could have hoped for when the schedule came out and the season began. The Bills have already beaten each of the other three division leaders in KC, Baltimore and Tennessee.’
Great instincts, speed and toughness. Bills’ Milano has package to be one of top NFL LBs
‘“When it comes to Matt, I think you’re right on when you say people have discovered what we already know,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “He’s a terrific football player, outstanding linebacker, one of those hybrid types that everybody’s kind of looking for. He’s just an all-around good player for us, a Swiss army knife in some ways because we can use him in so many different ways.”’

‘Watkins’ best season was with Tyrod Taylor in 2015. Watkins totaled 60 receptions for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns that season. His career was plagued with injuries and it was tough for Watkins to stay on the field, playing and starting in 37 of the 48 games for the Bills.’
Packers’ top receiver likely a ‘no go’ vs. Bills after hearing ‘snap, crackle and pop’
‘The loss of Lazard means that Rodgers will lean on the likes of Romeo Doubs, Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson at wide receiver and Robert Tonyan at right end. Against a Bills defense that is fresh off their bye and among the best in the league through six games, Rodgers and the Packers’ struggles could continue on Sunday night.’
